This is a list of premade Macros for firmware 1.4.0 and up from Onefinity. More info on the 1.4.0 firmware that introduced Macros: [image] Onefinity CNC Firmware 1.4.0 (5/24/24) (X-35/X-50/Pro machines w/ Buildbotics Controller) Macros & File Management (Outdated Firmware) Ou…

Hey Isaac, so what you would like to create is a function that creates on the fly a “dry” version of your g-code toolpath, where the spindle is at a safe height and not running, at a very high feed rate to not loose too much time, that you can run prior to the actual g-code program? Or even more, j…

In this test performed with the “check size” option, the router is never activated, so the bit doesn’t rotate and there’s no danger of cutting anything. It’s done at a suitable height above the material and at a moderate speed.

understood, my assumption is right. A very useful function. That would require a computation based on the loaded g-code program and the creation of a new g-code toolpath. Since you cannot create g-code with g-code, if you wanted to try this with g-code alone, you would need a LOT of conditional expr…

Here is a macro I use to surfacing all boards and I use it to surface the table as well. The origin is in the center to make it easy and useful no mater which corner my real origin will be for the job. Once the board is surfaced then I can probe the origin properly. The toolpath starts at the fro…

A very beginners question, as I work towards macros, entering the G0 X123 Y123 G92 X0 Y0 only works if the G0 string is entered and the G92 string is entered after, how do we cause both to work sequentially in the MDI field? I am assuming that in a macro we would enter the strings on separate line…

Hey Tony, Many commands cause the controller to change from one mode to another, and the mode stays active until some other command changes it implicitly or explicitly. Such commands are called modal. For example, if coolant is turned on, it stays on until it is explicitly turned off. The G-code…

[image] tmuka: another future feature idea i had was inside the macro editor to be able to checkmark which tools it applies to, eg, Laser Material Test macro isn’t useful when using the Router/Spindle, and Vaccum isn’t useful for Laser, etc… I also wonder if a default GoHomeXYZ might benefit fr…

Love this macro feature! Seems like the community could make a more complete library – is there somewhere else I should be looking? Supposing this is it so far, I’m attaching the few quickies I made which have proven useful (not all have been tested much, so caveat emptor). Also note that these prob…

Is there a way to bind a macro button from the BB interface to a button on the game pad, like R1, R2 to fire and turn off the laser?

Okay, silly quesiton Where are people writing the gcode to assign to the macros? I assume you put it on a USB drive like other files after you made the gcode

Those are some really practical ideas!
